These 7 Emotions are Making You a Negative Person

We are what we feel, our emotions directly impact our personality. We may not be aware of how we express ourselves, but our emotions shape our subconscious, how to behave. And if our negative emotions take charge of our subconscious we will eventually become a negative person.

Emotions are just emotions, but if we express listed ones more than good emotions (joy, happy, loved, grateful, etc.) we will become a person who is mostly negative.

How we express these emotions also creates our persona. And people stay away from people with negative persona. So why not choose to observe those emotions that make us negative person and try to reduce them.

Emotions are just emotions. They are not you, they are not facts, and you can let them go.

Envy

It’s so poisonous that it can kill our self-esteem, make us say bad things about someone we might have never met before. Along with jealousy, envy is the only emotion that makes us judgemental.

Envious feelings can make you a person who criticizes. And people who are aware will not stay around a person who most of the time is talking about desires and not taking right steps to achieve them.

Jealousy

This emotion can be observed when you feel bad because someone is doing something that you want(ed) to do. Jealousy is about feeling bad from people, not from their material things. Yes, that’s what makes it different from envy. It’s not materialistic. It’s more of a relationship thing.

“Guilt is like rust – it is slow, but powerful and it eats the person alive”
